Back Seats swap out?

**Fasteddie** · 12-11-2010, 01:31 PM

Hi OK I guess perhaps nobody has had this need before but I want to preserve my back seats from the kids! I would also like to fit a central seat belt. I guess I can swap my seats with ?any? E46 coupe? Does anybody have any advice on what I can replace the seats with and how to put a central seat belt on? Also can I use seats from a 4 door E46 or seats from an E36 etc etc

I have some mint e46 Coupe M-Sport ones sitting in my storage that are in the same material as the CSL seats (alcantara/M-Cloth).

You can only use e46 Coupe Im afraid.

I'm pretty sure any E46 coupe seats would fit so long as you include the bolsters.

I thought you were selling Eric?

**Fasteddie** · 12-11-2010, 03:32 PM

cheers, so lap belt only then, no fixing points for a 3 point? Phat is your seat with you in Marbella?

i just put our emallest child in the middle and cross the seat belts over to the other sides sockets - job done!

Report is going in as we speak to some spurious child abuse charity helpline come rescue organisation. Two seatbelts three children nicknamed 'Operation Certain Death'.

Cripes I can remember riding around in my mum's Allegro van with my two sisters and no belts. Actually my sister bumped her head and cut it on something sticking out of the wheel arch on the inside of the van. Still at least she learnt from it - hang on tight!

Too right to want to save the seats from the kids. My cheeky gits haven't had a good journey unless have dismantled a bit of the car or spilt a drink. Current favourite is to pick at the rubberised coating between the seats. Got to love them!
